Pound said witnesses saw Chahal's dark Mercedes travelling west on South Fraser Way when another vehicle, travelling in the same direction, shot into the Mercedes.

Other occupants of Chahal's vehicle fled the scene, but have since been identified and it was confirmed they were uninjured, Pound said.

"We will be looking to speak with all of them to obtain further information on the incident," she said.

"This shooting occurred in a very public area where innocent people could have easily become victims. We are urging anyone with information to come forward and speak with investigators."

When he was aged 20, Chahal was convicted, along with accused Bacon shooter Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun, of kidnapping and robbing a truck driver who they confronted with fake guns as they claimed to be cops.

They drove around with the victim tied up in the vehicle for three hours.

A Surrey judge called the attack a "random, brazen act of violence" that "devastated" the driver.

Chahal was also charged in August 2011 with possession for the purpose of trafficking in Abbotsford, but the case didn't go ahead after prosecutors received "new information."

Chahal remained closely aligned with Khun-Khun, who was charged with two others in February in the August 2011 murder of Bacon outside a Kelowna casino.

Bacon was in a Porsche Cayenne with two other gangsters from the Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers. Two women in the SUV were also wounded.

Some members of the Scorpions, Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers had formed a loose alliance dubbed the Wolfpack and police warned that there would be retaliation against the Dhak-Duhre crime group for the Kelowna shooting.

Since that warning, more than a dozen people aligned to the Dhak side have been shot or killed, including leaders Sukh Dhak, gunned down in Burnaby last November, and Sandip Duhre, executed at the Sheraton Wall Centre in January 2012.

Khun-Khun survived two shootings — one just weeks after Bacon was killed and the other in January 2013 in Surrey.

Pound declined to comment on a possible link between Chahal's slaying and the earlier string of shootings.

"Investigators will be speaking to police departments around the Lower Mainland to determine if there are any links to any of their files," she said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448.
